Personally, I prefer the rune one for Pk'ing in love level single, since it has big hits, but is slow, and I like the Karil's one when PK'ing deeper with ancient magic, because that one is way faster and is like 99% accuracy.

K, I changed my avatar, but I'm still going to be a douche.
TRY TO STOP ME BWAHAHHAHAHA!

U used pots to boost up your attack and strngh right? at first i thought it was hacked, but i﻿ remembered potions.

Karils is 2h and the bolts aren't recoverable, even with accumulator. Rune c'bow is more accurate and has stronger ammo and is 1h, but it makes for more awkward switches to ko weapons (if you are using them) in edge.

Rune c'box and karil x bow both have their good and bad sides, and they have a really "depends" type of uses.

I personaly love Karil bow though, it hits rapid 20+'s and if you combine that with poisoned Morrigan jav special.. Its a serious overhelm.

Rune c'bow however has the lovely d bolt special.. And other special bolts. Works great as a sudden KO as its self, and good with veng to hit heavy damage.

I'd personally pick karil bow over rune c'bow any day, just cause of the speed. If you have a high ranged level, you can combo your opponents food down so fast its not even funny, for your opponent that is.

I'm pretty sure on pvp servers the protected item is based on G.E value, so that's not true.

I'd say K-Bow if you're wanting some nice quick combos and you have a KO weapon, but Rune X-Bow if it's your only weapon being used.

Feel free to pk with a partyhat in a +1 world, after all, youll protect it!

In all seriousness I'd say go for the rune crossbow. I enjoy the k bow a lot, but its hits are more predictable but with an r cbow and dragon bolts you can hit 50+. Plus, if it means anything you get to keep some of your bolts where in a k bow you lose them when you shoot them.

I personally think the rune crossbow is better especially with emerald/diamond or dragon bolts (enchanted of course) but karils x-bow is really fun to pk with for some reason. Think of the x-bow like a machine gun in how fast it shoots and it's perfect if your going to switch to a dds or ags for a ko.

Can't relive the past.

depends on what type of account you're going to use it on , i prefer karils x-bow above any other range weapon
on my pure,then again i would never use on one my main because it would be inaccurate on rune/barrows.

If you're looking for speed & a weapon that can combo with melee weapons/magic go for Xbow
if you're looking for big hits go with rune Crossbow
